Apologies if this is not the place to post this but hope it is.
I bought a vintage Bogner paisley dress the other day. Online research mostly turns up information on Bogner as a skiwear brand but obviously it manufactured, and still does, other types of fashion. This dress is a beautiful green paisley with green lining, and I would like to date it, and also have some idea of its value (possibly very little!) in order to decide whether to have it taken in to fit me in a more flattering way or leave it intact in its original style. The lining plus paisley makes me think it most likely is a late 1960s or early 1970s but I could be wrong. Anyone with any insight on the Bogner label, thanks in advance.
 
Thank you. Actually value is now irrelevant as I have discovered a metal/rust stain on it that won't come out, so I will take the dress apart and use it for other sewing projects. However, attached is a photo of the label and print - perhaps it is more 70s than 60s as the typography on the label makes me think 70s.

OK - thanks - I will add one a little bit later. When I noticed the stain, I tried to wash it out (to no avail) so it is now drying on the line.
 
I wouldn't give up on the rust stain, I washed a cotton apron the other day which had the strongest rust mark I'd ever seen - it was so bad if it didn't improve I was going to reduce the width of the front panel and re-hem (it being close to the edge) but a soak in oxy cleaner (made for coloured garments) left in a bucket in the sun for an hour greatly improved it, to a more of a light tea stain I can live with, this was on red and white candy striped fabric, I'm sure it would be less noticible on a busy print such as yours.
I don't know if you washed by hand or machine but a strong stain needs to be worked out in the water by hand (ideally at the end of any soaking) before a normal wash and rinses.
 
Ah thank you - at least that has given me some hope. I don't recall seeing these stains when I bought it and I washed it in cold water, rinsed in cold water and dried it inside out with the lining touching the line and in the sun...so no idea how these dark brown stubborn stains appeared. Will give it a go with oxy cleaner if I can find some. Meanwhile a photo is attached.

Does it have any other labels inside? or behind the brand label? The polo shirt style neckline is making me wonder if this is a more recent garment in a retro style (90s, 2000s)
 
There is the washing label in the pocket. I will take some more close-ups in a little while. I don't think it's recent based on the heaviness and feel of the lining - feels old to me.
 
A press will help but the shape, polo opening, cap sleeves and fabric plus the label suggest a '60s revival style from about the mid to late '90s.

I agree that you should be able to get the stain out. Oxygen bleach is a wonderful thing, I'd be lost without it.
